"Vihaan and Arya just left Neha's cabin and headed towards Ashvi's room. As they entered, Arya's gaze fell on Shreyansh, who was sitting in a chair looking down. She felt a bit scared being near him, so she paused and instinctively clutched her saree. Vihaan, noticing her expression, gently took her hand and guided her to sit on a chair, saying, '

"come.""' Arya's attention shifted from Shreyansh to Yuvan inside Ashvi's room, where she could see him holding Ashvi's hand. She observed Yuvan crying, caressing Ashvi's hand, and kissing her forehead. This sight puzzled Arya, making her wonder about the connection between them. Suddenly, a voice beside her stated,

"'He loves her,'"" and when she turned, she saw it was Shreyansh. It startled her, causing her to move a bit back as she met his gaze...

" His words took her off guard, one shock after another as she was introduced to new information.

" 'My brother has had a feelings for Ashvi since college, but never had the chance to tell her how he truly felt. By the time he finally mustered up the courage, she had already moved on and now, when they crossed paths again after all these years, she was with your brother, breaking his heart,' Shreyansh explained, his voice tinged with sorrow. 'He was trying to move on, but this reality has hit him hard. He's devastated because Ashvi is hurting. He empathizes with her pain and loves her deeply,""' he continued before turning his gaze away, causing Arya's heart to soften as she watched Yuvaan gently kiss Ashvi's forehead.

"'God, please heal her and bring joy back into her life. Let Yuvaan be the source of that happiness for her, as perhaps only he can fill her life with joy once again,' Arya uttered, clutching Shreyansh finger unknownlying
while gazing at  Ashvi

Shreyansh noticed Arya looking towards Ashvi's room and then their hands resting against each other. Arya noticed and quickly pulled her hand away when she saw Shreyansh looking at her with some odd emotions. Shreyansh took a deep breath and realized that things might not work out between them.

He looked at Arya, whose gaze was fixed on Ashvi and Yuvaan.

" 'I think it's getting late, you guys should head home before uncle and aunty get worried,""' Kunal said, making them turn to look at him.

"'No,' ""they both replied at the same time, causing Vihaan and Kunal to exchange looks.

"Ashvi won't wake up until tomorrow morning, so you should head home. Yuvaan won't leave her side, but if you stay too, it might worry  uncle aunty  It's best if you go now," Vihaan suggested, hoping they'd agree. Kunal chimed in,

"Yeah, you should go home for now and come back tomorrow when Ashvi will wake up." Eventually, they both agreed and got up from their chairs. Arya was still focused on yuvaan who was showing his love for Ashvi  as he kissed her forehead, cried, and gently held her hands. Kunal reassured them,

"Let Yuvaan stay here; I'll make sure to take care of him and Ashvi." Shreyansh nodded in agreement and left...

" go Arya " she come out from her thoughts when she heard Vihaan voice

" she nodded her head and started following Shreyansh

Both of them made it to the parking area where Shreyansh was waiting for Arya in his car. But Arya was feeling scared of Shreyansh, even though she understood that his behavior towards her was understandable. She took a deep breath, settled in the car next to Shreyansh, and looked away as he glanced at her. Both of them stayed silent, with Shreyansh eventually noticing a bandage on Arya's hands, which stirred regret in his heart. As they sat in silence, Shreyansh's gaze shifted between Arya's hands and the road, while Arya kept her focus outside the window. Finally, she decided,
